Kipp,

I have been using no-ip.com for a few weeks now (their
free service) and have been very pleased. Their update
agent software was easy to install and configure (I am
using the linux update agent on FC2.) I have a game
server and web server running behind a NATed firewall
and it works very well. Just thought I'd share.

Regards,

Dave Cowan
